PBS NewsHour video / Wednesday, June 24, 2026 / President Donald Trump cancelled the signing of a landmark housing bill Tuesday, saying in a social media post that Congress needs to pass the SAVE America Act first. The president said the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act “is of minor importance” compared to the provisions in the elections bill, which adds new proof-of-citizenship and voter ID requirements. Trump has insisted that Republican leadership pass the SAVE America Act, even though GOP leaders have told the president they don’t have enough votes to get it through.
